@RavageRorr The Nightmare Kart cabinet will be at the Nightmare Kart Panel on Thursday at 9:30pm, then afterwards it'll be on the @MAGIndieArcade show floor in the Arcade Commons area! We'll even have a tournament :)

@b0tser We can't wait to share the full cabinet with you at @MAGFest , and if we won't see you there, then hopefully we can at the official launch a bit later in the year! See you soon!

Thank you to Lilith (@b0tser) for allowing us the opportunity to build this cabinet, and for working so closely with us on figuring out the challenge of these controls! She's been deeply involved since the beginning and it's been such a joy to work on this with her!

You may have noticed the "hood" of the cabinet, designed to look like a carriage canopy. We are considering a few approaches to this, including vintage baby buggies! R&D on this, like everything, will be a process so we'll add updates as we can.

This render has a minimalist approach for the side art, because this is a work in progress. What we bring to MAG will almost certainly look a little different from our final launch cabinet! We're focusing on wood molded details, and going from there.

The cab will also feature lots of aesthetic touches that really make it scream "Big Engine", with light-up base, a steel "grill" and engine exhaust piping

It just didn't feel like a true piece of nightmare-punk machinery without a lush interior. We're adding upholstery and a curtain affect for the marquee, which itself will use a custom version of the logo, complete with a fully 3D stained glass effect to really make it pop.

So let's talk details! We wanted the cab to feel less like "operating a race car" and more "piloting the contraption". Nearly every input is a mechanical switch with satisfying feedback. We heavily customized a sim racer steering system and sequential shifter for the main inputs.

Friends, It's a Nightmare-Before-Christmas-Miracle: the full render of the Nightmare Kart cabinet! Our lead designer, @mattfryed has cooked up something extremely special. We wanted to wait until it was as close to final as possible before showing it, and that day is here.

With Hexcade complete, there's been some shuffling of the games. You'll now find Volleygon at Windjammer in Ridgewood, and Powerboat Italia '88 at All Night Skate, while most of the other games reside at @wondervillenyc. Please check them out and support the indie arcade scene!
